Birthday

Yeah, my family knows me.  The pop-up birthday card is from my aunt.  I love the details on the hand-crank sewing machine.  And the mice are so cute.  The mug is from my mother.  It weighs a freaking ton, but will hold a wonderful amount of tea.  And llamas!  I love llamas.  The back of the mug proclaims: Think Happy Thoughts.  How can I not with that mug?

Yup - I just smile looking at it.

The sheep is also from Mom, another gift from Italy.  It will go with my growing herd of sheep.  I never intended to collect sheep, but that seems to be what's happening.  I have two glass ones.  The grey woolly one is from a local artist, and my sister made the white one years ago as a Christmas ornament.  I like enough to keep it out year round. There's a fifth sheep on my fridge made from Icelandic wool.  Baa!
